Most terminals are 10 ton pickup, and you have to have an existing quote to pull it. Yards that do per ton are generally expensive ($100+/ton), but still much cheaper than bagged ($160/ton @ $4/bag).

Around here, we (my company) are averaging a little under $80 delivered plus tax, although I've heard a lot of stories of $95 + tax, which IMO is just straight greedy unless it's 50+ miles away. I have arranged to let customer pick up with their own trucks (10 ton+) from the terminals, which is typically around $70 + tax. $59 + tax seems great, but I would think MI would have great prices, as well as OH, seeing as how there are mines there. That's significantly below the material cost out here.

I've heard the local Magic distributor is getting $150/ton, which is just criminal--especially when you read what Magic claims it should cost, but it's a captive market, so...

Don't know the sand/salt mix ratio. I use mostly straight salt. I mix my own sand/ salt . cost me about 25.00$ a
yard plus my time. The salt i get is really different from the pure white salt i used to get from International.It's brought in from chile and has honey/tan color. It helps you to see it as you're spreading. But the residue is white and it's 13.00$
cheaper.

Here in Southern Indiana we are paying $100 a ton + tax for regular salt....magic salt is $235 a ton...If it stays that expensive I will never know if magic salt works better than regular salt!!! Why is it so expensive...for those who have used it does it work?

A yard of road salt weighs 1.33 tons. A couple of guys in the waterbury area are selling straight salt at $110/yard loaded in your sander. Usually sand/salt mix is 4 parts sand 1 part salt. Snocommander - is that the price for magic salt?
